Bonifacio back in lineup
Overall, the Marlins are 39-39 on the road this year after they dropped three of four at Milwaukee.
On Monday, they begin their final away series of the season, as they take on the Braves at Turner Field.
Alex Sanabia gets the starting nod, while the Braves are going with Tommy Hanson.
Monday marks the return of Emilio Bonifacio to the starting lineup. Bonifacio has been bothered by a tight left hamstring. He is starting at shortstop as Hanley Ramirez isn’t ready to return.

Maybin exits with left groin strain
Marlins center fielder Cameron Maybin, who flinched while taking a swing in the seventh inning on Friday night, was removed during the middle of the at-bat with a left groin strain.
He is listed as day to day.
But after the Marlins beat the Braves, 7-1, Maybin said he expected to be ready for Saturday.
“Two swings in a row, I felt my groin grab a little bit,” Maybin said. “They wanted me to take it easy for precautionary reasons. We’ll see how it feels, and I hope to be back in the lineup tomorrow.”
Maybin was having a strong game against the Braves. He led off with a home run, and he made a terrific diving catch to rob Tommy Hanson in the third inning.
Mike Stanton replaced Maybin, assuming the at-bat against Cristhian Martinez. Stanton swung through strike three, but the strikeout was recorded to Maybin.
In the first inning, Maybin and Logan Morrison became the first pair in Marlins history to belt back-to-back home runs in the team’s first at-bat.
Emilio Bonifacio replaced Maybin in center field, while Stanton remained in the game, moving to right field.

Marlins open crucial series
After taking two of three from the Mets in New York, the Marlins are two games above .500 as they open a three game series at Atlanta.
The Marlins are 8 1/2 in back of the Braves in the NL East, and they’re six games out in the Wild Card chase.
“The way I see it, and pretty much the way the whole team sees it, every game is important to us, regardless of it we play the Braves or any other team,” manager Edwin Rodriguez said. “We had a very good series in New York. I think we have the momentum going our way. This is the time, we’re playing the teams that are ahead of us.
“If we have a very good series here, we’re going to start putting some pressure on the teams above us.”
